Organisation design: diagnosis, alternatives and accountability
The platform reads the current structure as it is, diagnoses it automatically, explains every finding, then helps choose the best alternative against the organisation's own criteria.
What goes in
- Organisational units and reporting lines.
- Positions and their incumbents.
- Each unit's mandate.
- The design criteria approved in stage one.
What happens in the platform
- Automatic diagnosis: span of control, number of layers, overlapping mandates between units, and empty or overloaded units.
- Analysis of every finding: what it means, the reference standard, its impact and the options to act on it, with a button to analyse it against the organisation's documents.
- Organisational alternatives are built, checked against the mandatory requirements, then scored on the weighted criteria.
- An accountability (RACI) matrix is built for the main processes.
What comes out
- A documented diagnosis of the current structure.
- A chosen alternative, justified against the criteria.
- An accountability (RACI) matrix.
- A consultant report for the stage, by unit and by finding.

Frequently asked questions
What does the automatic structure diagnosis show?
It shows spans of control that are too wide or too narrow, too many layers, mandates that overlap between units, and empty or overloaded units. Each finding explains what it means, its reference, its impact and the options to act on it.
How are organisational alternatives compared?
Any alternative that fails a mandatory requirement is ruled out first. The rest are scored on the weighted criteria the organisation set in the first stage.
Can we upload the current structure from a file?
Yes. Download the Excel template from the platform, fill it in and upload it; the data is shown for preview before saving. You can also connect your HR system to send the structure automatically.
